Elementalist

Keep in mind the damage likely needs to be toned down since this was part of a different planned ruleset.

It seems I had a base class designed that I forgot about. When I was trying to create a page for the elementalist prc from the prc polls, the page already existed with this class. :P

Is this essentially an elemental warlock? Or is it weaker than a warlock?

It's pretty different. The only thing it has in common with a warlock is unlimited casting and the ability to vary shapes with their blasts.

It has the ability to vary up their damage shapes as they desire. Think of it more like a war mage who wears armor and shields and channels the elements into the battlefield. Cones, bursts, ranged AE, bolts, chains, touchs.

It has no defensive spells or abilities of any kind, no buffs, invisibility, or anything to keep it out of harms way. Even at 14th when they can turn on the mode that will heal them slightly it's not going to be much (max 16 pts at 30th, 7 pts when they get it) and they lose the damage bonus or the ability to avoid harming allies to keep that mode active. Low hit points too.

It's a classic glass cannon style.
